Study of the processes of the purification of water from surface sources from petroleum products

Abstract

Recently, the amount of natural waters contaminated with petroleum products, which enter surface sources together with wastewater, has increased. Therefore, the issues of natural water purification of petroleum products are given great importance. Purification of natural waters from petroleum products is possible by sorption and ultrafiltration methods. Kazan State University of Architecture and Engineering conducted research on the purification of natural waters from petroleum products in adsorption filters using various sorbents, as well as membrane separators with ultrafiltration modules from various manufacturers. As a loading of sorption filters, it is recommended to use activated charcoal as a sorbent that is optimal in terms of price and quality of water purification. The membrane modules manufactured in Europe and the United States, have a high cleaning effect from petroleum products and a sufficiently high productivity. However, they are extremely expensive.
